Hi, Additional info: the conflict is not that Unity overrides Blender shortcuts - we could live with that. The issue is that on every (!) ALT keypress, Unity sends the active application a window-deactivate and a window-activate event.
Apart from the unnecessary full-UI refresh this invokes, Blender also clears modifier key state then. That's sane behaviour in general, shortcuts from WM's can move focus to other windows, so you don't get key-release events anymore. This issue was only visible after 2.65a, due to a bugfix that solved "Hanging ALT key" on de-activates, which would change button values on using scrollwheel. By default, scrollwheel events are also sent to inactive windows... -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation t...@blender.org www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands On 31 Jan, 2013, at 18:30, pa...@telenet.be wrote: > Hi all, > > Since Ubuntu unity apparently uses around 64! keyboard shortcuts (and i prb > missed some) and blender itself also is kb hungry --and-- in conflict with > unity, Shinsuke Irie and myself have been trying to resolve this issue on > blender's side with no luck.
